Life as a Storybook

Hi, friends!

I have something really fun to share today 🤍. For free, you can create beautiful, storybook-worthy illustrations from your family photos and I’m going to show you how!

Here is an example of one that I made based on the photo below. The chicks, the messy hair—I can not!! 😍

Here’s another one from a photo I took of the girls:

And here is the original photo!

Can you believe how sweet they look? I’m definitely framing these to keep forever.

Ok, so creating your own is easy peasy.

First, either search for ChatGPT in your web browser or download the ChatGPT app. I think the app works faster.

Then, enter your prompt. For example, “Create a Beatrix Potter inspired illustration from this photo.” Then attach the photo you’d like to base it on, and submit the question/prompt.

It will take several minutes to generate the image, but be patient! It’s worth it.

If you’re using the free version of ChatGPT, you’ll only be able to generate 2-3 images per day. You can do more if you pay for the premium version.

Here are a few more examples:

This picture was from Easter last year 🤍. I just love these ones!

Here’s one of our baby chicks on the kitchen counter:

So precious!

Here’s one based on a candid photo I took of Max’s room on laundry day:

And another of our bunny hutch:

Last one: a still image of an apple pie I made after a day at the orchard:

Incredible, right?!

I’ll definitely be framing some of these to display around the house, especially in the kids’ rooms.

That’s all for today, friends. Thanks for stopping by!

xoxo,

Catrina
